Looking for glass canopy for NanoCube 28

[Canoe2Can]

Does anyone know where I could find a glass canopy for a 28 gallon NanoCube? I found one website that listed them, but only as "discontinued." I would like the option to switch to an LED clamp-on or pendant later.

Thanks for any help!

I looked for one a while back and couldn't find anything commercially available. You will have to make a template to bring to a local glass shop and have one made for you.

I am looking for the same thing. I have the quad-pc JBJ right now and am planning to upgrade to a MH pendant. But I also want a Blue Spotted Jawfish so I'm going to need a good cover. Any idea on what the cost would be for a custom glass cover?

yes I am looking for the same thing and striking out all over the place. I am putting a EcoTech Radion over my JBJ 28g and I need a cover. I can't believe it's this hard to find something. I have contacted 2 glass companies (one makes aquariums) and they won't make it. I guess because it is not worth the trouble to them... Anybody have any suggestions?

*bump* for any ideas/suggestions or if anyone wants to sell me theirs

I was never able to find one commercially available, you have to find a local glass shop that will cut one for you. I wouldn't imagine that cost would be that high. I am just running topless with my Radion now, been like that for months.

Home Depot has acrylic sheets that you can buy and cut yourself.

I heard acrylic will bow over time that glass is a better option. I thought about running topless, but worried that my longnose hawkfish will bail out on me.

Order some 1/4" acrylic online (tap plastics) and make your own, that shouldn't bow. If you're still worried they make several thickness.

Also try local windshield repair places for glass. If they do it they are normally quite a bit cheaper than "custom" glass shops.

I have a 1/4" acrylic lid that bows even on my tiny 3g pico, I'd do glass or nothing IMO...
